▷ How To Arrange Hanukkah Candles?

Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, is an eight-day celebration of religious freedom. A traditional part of this celebration is the lighting of the nine-branched candle holder, or menorah. Each day of the festival, a candle is lit, so that at the end, all nine will be illuminated. This article explains how to arrange the Hanukkah candles correctly.

The Hanukkah menorah has nine branches. One is in the middle and stands slightly higher than the other eight. This central candle is traditionally called the “shamash,” which means “the servant.”
